UC Merced students can apply to our VISION PREM scholars program for research in spring 2025.
Students from UC Merced or other institutions can get involved for summer research through
our physics REU site.
Cal-Bridge scholars and other California State University students can also apply via the Cal-Bridge Summer program.
Physics majors interested in doing a senior thesis should strive to take PHYS 141, Condensed Matter Physics, which is being offered in fall of odd years (2025, 2027, etc.).
For PhD positions, applying through physics is preferred, but the chemistry or materials science (MBSE) PhD programs are also possible. A strong background in quantum mechanics is a must. I am expecting to take a new PhD student in fall 2025.
I am a mentor for Cal-Bridge.
